Carol I Mosque - Constanta - Romania
The Great Mahmudiye Mosque (Moscheea Mare Mahmoud II). Built in 1910 by King Carol I, the mosque is the seat of the Mufti, the spiritual leader of the 55, 000 Muslims (Turks and Tatars by origin) who live along the coast of the Dobrogea region. The building combines Byzantine and Romanian architectural elements, making it one of the most distinctive mosques in the area. The centerpiece of the interior is a large Persian carpet, a gift from Sultan Abdul Hamid. Woven at the Hereche Handicraft Centre in Turkey, it is one of the largest carpets in Europe, weighing 1, 080 pounds. The main attraction of the mosque is the 164 ft minaret, which offers a stunning view of the old downtown and harbour
